Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
323 AM EDT Wed Jun 12 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

Weak low pressure moving slowly northeastward across Tampa Bay
early this morning will cross central Florida today, emerging over
the Atlantic waters near Daytona Beach by this evening.
Meanwhile, high pressure will briefly wedge down the southeastern
seaboard today, resulting in strengthening onshore winds later
this morning and this afternoon throughout our local waters.
Showers and thunderstorms today will mainly be confined to the
waters from St. Augustine southward, with showers then spreading
northward overnight as low pressure crosses the Gulf Stream waters
adjacent to northeast Florida. Periods of showers and
thunderstorms will remain possible across the northeast Florida
waters on Thursday and Friday as a frontal boundary remains
stalled over our local waters. This boundary will briefly shift
southward on Saturday before a stronger high pressure center
wedges down the southeastern seaboard on Sunday. This weather
pattern will result in decreasing chances for showers and
thunderstorms on Saturday, followed by a surge in onshore winds on
Sunday that will increase chances for showers and thunderstorms
throughout our local waters.
